MFTS and thermostat Q: Gauge not reading temp but HEAT

>  Driving in cold - 20 degrees ambient temp - needle buried in cold reading.
> Stop: like at rest area, temp gauge slowly creeps up.

> Cabin heat:  Little or none...

The MFTS merely reports on what is happening.  I would suspect a 
thermostat that is not closing properly for an engine that runs too cool 
most of the time when moving, and doesn't make sufficient heat for the 
occupants.
